Rules & FAQ

The Sofia Nomads are playing football games (friendly and competition) in Sofia (Bulgaria), several times a week.

How to become a member ?

The procedure takes 30 seconds.

First you have to create your account, or log in directly with your Facebook, Twitter, Google or OpenId account.

1-If you prefer to use your social network account, just click the LOGIN link on the forum page (http://www.sofiafoot.com/forum/) and accept the authorization.

Or

If you prefer to create an account in the forum with your own login/password by clicking this REGISTER link, then follow the instructions.

N.B.

* We recommend you to use your own name as a login, instead of an unknown nickname.

* Please add your gsm phone number in the “Phone number” field of your personal profile (your profile will not be validated otherwise). Only our members have access to profiles.

* If your email provider uses an antispam filter, please try to be sure that he will allow the emails from the forum. Otherwise you can use a free provider like yahoo or hotmail, it works fine.

2- Once your account is created, you can activate it by following the link that you have received by email.

After this step you will have access to all the forum categories.

3- For your first match, you will have to ask one of the moderators to subscribe you to the match list (because you won’t be allowed to add your name before paying your annual fee).
The moderators and admins list is at the bottom of every forum page. Click a name to send a private message (only once you are registered) :

A personal mailbox is assigned to each member, allowing to exchange private messages like emails.

For your first login, check the “Remeber me” box : you won’t have to type your password again for your next connections.

Annual fee

Only members who have paid their annual fee can subscribe to a match list.

The other members can sometimes be proposed to play, only if players are needed.

Rates:

• From september : 40 BGN
• After april : 20 BGN
• After July : free

This money is used to pay our different expenses and book the pitch in advance (please see “financial status” topic for more information).

How does it work ?

Every week, new match lists are opened in the forum by a moderator.

You just have to enter the forum and reply by using the “Quote and reply” or “Reply to post” buttons.

Copy and paste the original list in your reply and add your name to the first available space.

When do we play ?

Once you are registered, you have access to the calendar with the matches list.

We usually play 2 to 4 times a week, mainly on monday, wednesday and saturday.

The list is opened several days before the match.

Price per game is 10 BGN.

Game rules :

1- Be on time.

 2- Wear a shirt with the color indicated (the teams are chosen in advance by computer).

 3- Stay until the end of the match (duration : 1h30).

 4- Play FAIR !

 5- If you subscribe and you can’t make it, YOU HAVE TO CONTACT THE FIRST SUBSTITUTE BY ANY MEANS AND MAKE SURE THAT HE WILL COME.

Then, write a confirmation message in the topic.

 6- Every MISSING PLAYER (or dropping out 24 hours before the match without finding a substitute) will have HIS ACCOUNT SUSPENDED FOR 1 WEEK.

 7- A player that shows up without being on the list WON’T be allowed to play.

 8- A member can only add HIS NAME to the list, nobody else (any other name will be erased). If you don’t have access to Internet to subscribe, please contact a moderator.

 9- Week games : it is fair to subscribe as a substitute to the second week game if you have already played during the first one.

 10- For every game, priority goes to regular members. Extra players (friends) can play only if we call for them.

 11- Teams are chosen by the coach, or by a randomizer software (http://www.randomizelist.com)
